Extra Tools Pack Help

Huawei DevEco Studio

Huawei DevEco Studio is the official IDE for Huawei's HarmonyOS operating system. It is based on IntelliJ IDEA Community (with some modifications) and includes additional features provided by Huawei.

DevEco Studio support

DevEco Studio 5 (at least version 5.1.1.850) is officially supported by Extra Tools Pack, Extra Icons, Extra ToolWindow Colorful Icons and Extra IDE Tweaks.

DevEco Studio 6 will also be officially supported once it's available outside from China. For now, you should be able to use it, but I can promise nothing.
If you have access to DevEco Studio 6, I would be happy to read your feedback. At least, you would help me a lot by going to Help | About DevEco Studio | Copy and Close, paste to a text file, and send me this file (jonathan.lermitage AT gmail.com). This will tell me what's the base version of DevEco Studio 6 (i.e. is it based in IntelliJ 2023, 2024 or 2025).

Plugin installation

License activation

You need to use an offline activation code because DevEco Studio does not support JetBrains authentication. To proceed:

  • Visit your JetBrains profile: https://account.jetbrains.com/licenses, scroll to the plugin you want to activate, and click on Download a code for offline activation. Open the downloaded ZIP file. It contains a text file: open it and copy its content. This is your offline activation code.

Offline activation code
  • In DevEco Studio, go to Help | Register Plugins..., select the plugin you want to activate, click on Activation code, then paste your offline activation code, click on Activate.

Offline activation code 2
  • Restart DevEco Studio.
